REPLACEMENT
1. PLACE MATCHMARKS ON SHAFT AND YOKE
2. REMOVE SNAP RING
(a) Using a brass bar and a hammer, slightly tap in the bear-
ing outer race.
(b) 4WD rear propeller shaft:
Using 2 screwdrivers, remove the 4 snap rings from the
grooves.
(c) 2WD and 4WD front propeller shaft:
Using needle nose pliers, remove the 4 snap rings from
the grooves.
3. REMOVE SPIDER BEARING
(a) Using SST, push out the bearing from the flange yoke.
SST 09332±25010
HINT:
Sufficiently raise the part indicated by ºAº so that it does not
come into contact with the bearing.
(b) Clamp the bearing outer race in a vise and tap off the
flange with a hammer.
HINT:
Remove the bearing on the opposite side in the same proce-
dure.
(c) Install the 2 removed bearing outer races to the spider,
and clamp them in a vise.
(d) Using SST, push out the bearing from the sleeve yoke.

(e) Clamp the outer bearing race in a vise and tap off the yoke
with a hammer.
HINT:
Remove the bearing on the opposite side in the same proce-
dure.

6. INSTALL SNAP RINGS
(a) Install 2 new snap rings of equal thickness which will allow
for 0 to 0.05 mm (0 to 0.0020 in.) axial play.
HINT:
Do not reuse the snap rings.

7. CHECK SPIDER BEARING
(a) Check that the spider bearing moves smoothly.
(b) Check the spider bearing axial play.
Maximum bearing axial play: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
HINT:
Install new spider bearings on the flange side in the pro-
cedure described above.
When replacing the rear propeller shaft spider on 4WD
vehicle, be sure that the grease fitting assembly hole is
facing in the direction shown in the illustration below.
